TIMP-2 Assay

TIMP-2 (Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2) is a 21 kDa glycoprotein that regulates MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases). In addition to its inhibitory role against most of the known MMPs, TIMP-2 also has erythroidpotentiating and cell growth promoting activities. TIMP-2 may play a significant role in cancer development.
